One of Gerry Adams's brothers has been found guilty of raping and sexually abusing his oldest daughter when she was a child three decades ago.

A jury of nine men and three women found Liam Adams, 58, guilty of three counts of rape, three counts of gross indecency and four counts of indecent assault allegedly carried out over a six-year period between March 1977 and 1983.

Liam Adams – a former Sinn Féin election worker – from West Belfast, had denied all 10 charges against him.

His eldest daughter, Aine, had waived her right to anonymity and gave evidence against her father in Belfast crown court.
